Caving

One of the largest system of caves in the Caribbean, Hatchet Bay Caves are hidden in the wide open space between James Cistern and Hatchet Bay. They give the appearance of a "vaulted cathedral. It is more than a mile long with stalagmites and stalactites the gleam in the tourchlight" (Source: geographica.com). It is said that these caves gave shelter to hiding pirates and bucanneers of the Caribbean, in their days.
